“A good family holiday”

Left on 11/01/2011 for a stay in August 2011 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Nov 1, 2011Stayed Aug 2011

great location, friendly people, well equipped cottage. Internal layout of the cottage was unusual, and the suite looked fine but was smaller than average so was uncomfortable for an evening by the fire. plenty to explore and places to visit for day trips too. Great little ferry!

“Memorable holiday in an idyllic setting”

Left on 09/22/2011 for a stay in June 2011 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Sep 22, 2011Stayed Jun 2011

The situation of Roddy's Cottage far exceeded the expectations raised by the brochure and the website. With its views down the Sound of Sleat and across to Skye it would have been very easy just to sit in the visitor friendly garden enjoying the views and not bothering with all the other features this area has to offer. Our experience was further enhanced by the very warm welcome given to us by the owners Graham and Lilian who were attentive without being in any way intrusive. Their welcome pack was most appreciated and the duck eggs were a whole new breakfast experience! The cottage itself was immaculate and probably the best holiday let we have ever had. We have already booked for next year!

“Perfect”

Left on 08/19/2011 for a stay in June 2011 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Aug 19, 2011Stayed Jun 2011

This is the best holiday cottage we have ever stayed in. Warm, comfortable, nicely decorated and well equiped; very friendly and considerate owners; a stunningly beautiful location; and a lovely walk along the sea shore to the pretty village and friendly local pub. Perfect! The only hard part was leaving at the end of our holiday.

“Fantastic seclusion by the sea”

Left on 03/10/2011 for a stay in January 2011 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Mar 10, 2011Stayed Jan 2011

Roddys cottage is set in a wonderful location by the sea. You can sit in the window and watch the 4 seasons in one hour ( as happens at any time of the year in the highlands !) with the log fire roaring to keep you toasty warm.
You can walk out of the door and explore the coast line watching great wildlife. It is walking distance to the pub which does amazing food and very freindly.
The cottage is well equiped with everything you would need whilst staying. The fire is great after a day exploring and otter hunting. With a washer and dryer there are no worries about getting dirty as my 9 year old did every day.
We stayed for New year and the locals were really welcoming however i would love to return in the summer to be able to get the ferry over to Skye.

“Tranquil and scenic holiday”

Left on 06/04/2010 for a stay in March 2010 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Jun 4, 2010Stayed Mar 2010

Wonderful location, lovely and clean cottage. Owner could not have been more helpful or kind. Roaring fire welcomed us and fresh duck eggs from his farm along with other bits and pieces were waiting for us. Beautiful walks and car journeys to Sheena's tea hut - great experience !! Would highly recommend.

“Great View, Great Break”

Left on 04/18/2010 for a stay in February 2010 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Apr 18, 2010Stayed Feb 2010

Really enjoyed out break, the weather was cold, and the cottage remote but still not far from the main road to Skye and Plockton.
The area is beautiful and you just outside the town which gives it a pleasant remoteness, that gives the feeling of solitude and peace. We're glad the village has its very own snow plough to keep the road open. Every morning was a delight to wake up with great views and such peace, the water and hills were beautiful. The open fire heated the house, whilst central heating system means either way you'll stay warm.

“Cosy, tranquil with superb views”

Left on 12/20/2009 for a stay in October 2009 | A FlipKey verified reviewerReviewed Dec 20, 2009Stayed Oct 2009

Overall, very welcoming and equipped (would perhaps have liked a little more coal to start off with as we went in October, the shop was shut on Sunday and we arrived late on Saturday). Otherwise, comfy, cosy and well equipped in a wonderfully scenic area.
Very reasonably priced with friendly, obliging owners.
We were in dire need of a total rest and that's exactly what we got!
Nothing to dislike, but we understood the cottage had only recently become available to rent, and perhaps could have done with a bit more local information - nearest doctors, dentists, chemists, vets etc (which thankfully we DIDN'T need) and the nearest garage - which we DID need and struggled to look up in phone book as we weren't sure where anywhere was! Otherwise, we can't wait to go back!
